Lucy, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I've had four early miscarriages myself, and I know how desperately you want an answer, something on which to blame your tragic situation. In my case, as in many others, there were no answers to be found. The sad truth is, something like 1 in 5 pregnancies end in miscarriage. It is unlikely that the flu shot was the culprit. What happened to you was the result of chance, and not due to anything you did or did not do. Testing of the fetus at this stage can tell you if the cause of your loss was a genetic abnormality, but it probably won't tell you much more than that. Again, I'm sorry, and I hope your sorrow is not compounded by feelings of guilt.
